Not wrong, but did we seriously travel back to late 2000's 4chan? There's far more apt ways to communicate the concept that communities tend to degenerate to fit the lowest common denominator of their users, and that will only shift lower as the userbase grows. Any community will be better quality when the majority of its userbase consists of people deeply invested in the topic.

I've found that talking like a reasonable adult rather than relying on NEET/internet denizen slang as shorthand tends to help "hot takes" like this be taken more seriously. It also gives more for others to respond to, in regards to adding anything useful to a conversation/comment chain.

Im glad we have such a big piracy community, we gotta stick it to the man.

I think the early days of /r/piracy was pretty good. I learned a lot from it and found many guides and how to. But then it got popular and everyone started flooding in and asked every single little thing instead of reading the wiki and quality went bad.

I think it won't get to that on Lemmy because those who don't read the wiki won't read to understand the fediverse.
